Any parent that has ever volunteered to be a leader of any extra-curricular activity for their kids knows that trying to organize children from dozens of families is a harrowing venture.  Cool person in technology Yuval Spector wants to use the Internet to make this task far more manageable and less intimidating.  Mass emails with broken threads, missed phone calls and numerous other problems usually complicate things when trying to plan activities for large groups of children.  However, Spector’s company UpToUs provides parents with numerous organizational tools that can help group leaders keep things organized when working out details with so many other parents.  Spector wants to reduce the potential for chaos when parents are trying to coordinate activities by giving them a central organizational system.

Spector’s service is freely available on the web for parents to use.  On the UpToUs site, whatever parent is the leader of an activity creates a group and then inputs the email addresses of other involved parents to invite them to join.  Once the other parents in a group respond to their email invitations, they can then access the group on the UpToUs site whenever they want.  Spector has made sure that UpToUs is web and cloud-based so that users can access information on the site from any Internet-connected device.  Spector’s use of the cloud is yet another example of the shift towards cloud computing in the technology industry.  Spector likely saw the advantage cloud computing gave other services like cloud computer repair and cloud-based office programs and knew utilizing that model would increase convenience for his users.

Once parents join an UpToUs group, they can share information easily on the site.  There’s a calendar for each group that shows all events and deadlines relevant to a group’s activity. UpToUs also gives group leaders special tools to create useful items like sign-up lists and photo repositories for parents who want to share pictures from an event.  Users who have any difficulty using these features can always call a home computer support company to determine the problem.

Spector has had extensive experience in leadership roles at numerous companies including Orbotech, Soligence, and Clarizen.  He’s held positions such as R&D manager, operation manager and VP of customer success at these companies.  This cool person in technology also has experience directly related to UpToUs’s mission, as he also founded and still runs an after school program for kids centered on the card game Bridge.  Spector’s leadership skills and hands-on experience with what UpToUs is trying to improve spells a bright future for his startup.
